Someone has killed Pap Finn! Was it Tom Sawyer in the Library with the wrench? Could it be the Connecticut Yankee in the Billiard Room with the knife? Some think it could be The Pauper in the Kitchen with the rope. A parody inspired by the classic Parker Brothers/Hasbro game CLUE, a full-fledged murder mystery is yours to solve on The Mark Twain House & Museum’s new “Get a Clue” Tour!

Ever noticed that many of the rooms in The Mark Twain House are the same as the ones on the iconic 1949 British board game (originally known as CLUEDO)? The Hall, the Dining Room and other opulent rooms become possible murder scenes in this classic challenge of deductive reasoning and detective skill. The hilarious Sea Tea Improv comedy troupe becomes the suspects, all based on famous characters from the Mark Twain novels created in this very house. In one hour, participants will be able to make accusations and figure out who sent the wretched Pap Finn to his doom, where it happened and what was used to off the scoundrel. Solve the mystery, laugh a lot, and save the day!

March 22 and 237 p.m. to 10 p.m.Hour-long tours depart every twenty minutes and must be reserved in advance.Tickets - $22 / $20 for membersReservations required! (860) 280-3130

CT Comedy Cage Match vs. Horse Lincoln - FINAL ROUND!

Sea Tea Improv competes for the championship vs. UConn's Horse Lincoln! We've won all 5 rounds of the 2011-2012 CT Comedy Cage Match series so far, and on Friday, May 4th, we'll be battling for the top spot! The winner is decided by YOUR VOTES, so please come out to the show and support us!

CT CAGE MATCH SERIESHeading into its third season at Playhouse on Park, the CT Cage Match Series wraps up at Playhouse on Park in West Hartford, CT. Two teams compete, the audience chooses the winner! The winning improv team of this last match is the champ!

On Friday, June 8th at 8PM at the Hole in the Wall Theater, Sea Tea Improv will host an Improv Open Mic *AND* Improv Mixer!

$5 | BYOBAll proceeds go to support the Hole in the Wall, a community theater.

-- What the heck is this thing? --This is a chance for anyone to come watch & participate in improv comedy in two fun ways!

- Improv Open Mic -We're encouraging established improv groups to come sign up for 5 to 15 minute slots to perform short form games or short longforms! Try something experimental! Play your favorite games! Form a one-off group for the night! Get some work in with your team in front of an audience!

- Improv Mixer -In between the open mic slots, we'll be doing mixed improv scenes just like the ones at VLAD the IMPROV-er's Connecticut Improv Mixers! Put your name on the list, and you'll be randomly paired with another improvisor of a complementary level to do a short improv scene! Whether you come alone or with a group for the open mic, you can put your name in for mixer scenes!

- Can I just watch? -Well, yeah, sure... you can just watch. But we definitely encourage you to try it out! Even if you've never done improv before, we can pair you with an expert who will bend over backwards to make you look good. Sea Tea Improv and the CT improv community is a very supportive environment, and we all know that no one's perfect, and no one's good all the time.

From Friday afternoon June 29 to after midnight Sunday July 1, there will be improv non-stop at the UCB Theatre and other venues. Groups from Hartford, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, Washington DC, Chapel Hill, Raleigh, Austin, Philadelphia, Toronto, and more, will perform!
